Mothers, don’t hate me out there for what I’m about to say but I use to watch pregnant women waddle around like they were part of the Weeble Wobble Fisher Price Toy set wondering why they felt the need to do that. It looks so pathetic and I wondered if it was just an attempt… [Read More]

Ok, life is getting uncomfortable, clothes don’t fit, sleep isn’t easy to come by, work is tough and I can’t even have a glass of wine to take the edge off. I don’t know how long I can subject the other patrons at the gym to extremely ilfitting workout clothes. I mean it’s bad, I… [Read More]

Most of you don’t live in St. Louis so you wouldn’t know that picked the hottest summer in 40+ years to be pregnant in which has been miserable. What’s it’s caused me to do though is buy nothing but dresses to wear. So while I’m loving the cool down, I’m praying that I’ll be able… [Read More]

I continue to think about how I’m going to get my prebaby body back and I started to wonder just how many calories would a new mother need. I’ve asked my dietician but haven’t heard back yet so I’m making my own calculations. Prior to pregnancy, working out about 5 times/week I was consuming around 1750… [Read More]

I shouldn’t even say “assuming” because he really doesn’t have a choice at this point. I need him to stay… [Read More]

So I know I shouldn’t be getting my hopes up but finding childcare has been such a huge pain in the neck that I thought I’d never find anyone or any place with availability in the next YEAR. I was referred to a site called Care.com which is like a Craigslist.com for child, adult, pet… [Read More]

Strange title for a blog? Yes, I know but there’s a story behind it. But before I tell it, I have to say that I’m relieved tonight because my gestational diabetes test came back negative. Very exciting! No diabetes. Tomorrow is my next appointment, doc has me going every two weeks now. Tonight S and… [Read More]

I took the test 4 hour long Gestational Diabetes test this morning which I was fine with until the time between the second and third blood sample. After fasting for 12 hours, drinking the sweetest kool-aid I’ve ever had, it finally caught up to my little guy and I. I came home between each sample… [Read More]
